Jacob Ryan Shuttleworth, a resident of Dallas, Texas, passed away on May 22 at the age of 37 in a tragic car accident. He is survived by his parents, Gary and Martha Shuttleworth; his son, Liston Ray Shuttleworth; his sister, Shannon Lacy Harris and her family, Chris Harris, Mason, Logan, Madison, and Hudson Murphree; and his brother, Joshua Shuttleworth, his son Easton Jobson-Shuttleworth.

He is also survived by his aunts and uncles: Melanie Shuttleworth, Alan Shuttleworth Jr., Cynthia McKinney, and Shannon and Steve Davis; cousins Chasity Swehla, Christan Smith, Casie Guyton, Tyler Davis, and Dillon Davis; his grandmother, Cindy McKinney; and great-uncle, Curtis McKinney.

Jacob was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ellon and Alan Shuttleworth Sr., Mary Alvis, and Clyde McKinney.

Born on March 17, 1988, in Dallas, Texas, Jacob graduated from Mesquite Poteet High School in 2006, where he participated in Cross Country, Track, and Soccer. He went on to attend Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas, where he played soccer.

Jacob will be profoundly missed by his 10-year-old son, Liston Ray Shuttleworth, who will always cherish their shared memories—camping, golfing, building Hot Wheels tracks, visiting the zoo and Six Flags, and playing countless games together.

Known for his intelligence, humor, and caring nature, Jacob touched the lives of all who knew him. Though he faced challenges in life, he found strength and support through his active involvement in the Lakepointe Church Support and Recovery Ministries. His church softball team, which meant a great deal to him, recently won the league championship on May 12th.

A memorial service celebrating Jacob’s life will be held at Lakepointe Church, 3540 Emporium Circle, Mesquite, Texas 75150, on June 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, condolences and donations may be offered in Jacob’s memory to the Lakepointe Church Support and Recovery Ministries.
